, done help me. mop squeegee. (laughter) fox news chairman and goblin king roger ailes wanted somebody else as "the washington post" recently reported in the spring of 2011 ailes asked a fox news analyst headed to afghanistan to pass on his thoughts to general david petraeus, resign from the military and run for president. and ailes wasn't just encouraging petraeus to run, he put a serious offer on the table. which was secretly taped i assume, by paula broadwell hiding under the table. (laughter) listen petraeus respond to ailes offer. >> tell him if i ever ran, but i won't, but if i ever ran i would take him up on his offer. >> okay, all right. >> he would quit fox. >> all right. >> and bankroll it or maybe i'm confused and that was rupert. >> i think one is bankrolling it. >> big boss is bankrolling it. rogg certificate going to run and the rest of russ going to be here in-house. >> stephen: okay so, if petraeus ran for president murdoch would pay for it, ailes would manage it, and fox news would sell it though their audience. now if you think about it, a news network choosing the ca

about bribing hacking, activity throughout their newspapers in britain now this where roger ails want petraeus to run for the presidency. >> here's the thing with fox news. the only thing that makes them unethical is that they call themselves news. if they just said fox politics, this would not even be something that we could talk about. otherwise, they really should not be called, they're an entertainment organization that i guess very effective in politicking. they should just take the news out of their name. >> michael, they are entitled to encourage people, i suppose right? >> right. the ironic thing is that at fox news the head of c.n.n. or nbc would never have been able to do this. roger ails, here we have him trying to influence somebody to run on the republican ticket. this isn't the first time. he similarly urged chris christie to run, as well. >> i think what we're seeing here is that we understand and view and judge fox and murdoch by an entirely different metric. >> right. >> tina witness as you said, they are over they political therefore those of us who see them don't ex

of trouble it's lately, but also the chairman of fox news channel roger ailes. there is no question that petraeus was a hero of the afghan war, so it may not come as any surprise that according to "the washington post" he was approached to run for president. but it's how he was approached and who approached him that may have crossed a line. a fox news analyst named kathleen mcfarland was on a trip to afghanistan when a proposal she made to the general was caught on tape. she told general petraeus that fox news chief roger ailes would do whatever he could to get petraeus elected. she even started out by asking a very strange question coming from a news organization. >> he loves you and everybody at fox loves you. so what i'm supposed to directly from him to you, through me, is, first of all, is there anything fox is doing, right or wrong, that you want to tell us to do differently? >> is there anything you want to tell us to do differently? this is a surrogate for a national news organization asking a potential presidential candidate and someone who is in the middle of prosecuting a

? the network's founder, roger ailes, wanted then general david petraeus, to make a run for the republican presidential nomination. cnn's national political correspondent jim acosta is joining us now. pretty i guess bombastic report out there, with a lot of detail. >> that's right. this goes back to the fact that some republicans were longing for alternatives to the official gop candidates in the 2012 race, and as an audio recording reported by "the washington post" reveals, fox news chief roger ailes appears to step out of the traditional role of news executive to recruit a candidate, david petraeus. before the affair that just last month forced david petraeus to step down as director of the cia, he was so popular in republican circles that roger ailes, the chairman of fox news, tried to enlist the four-star general to run for president back in 2011. according to a recorded conversation obtained by washington post reporter and author bob woodward. >> i'm not running. >> reporter: making the pitch is katie mcfarland. she tells the general that ailes was willing to give up his job at the ne

of the united states against barack obama and if he did so, roger ails said he would quit fox news and run his campaign. how about it. don't tell me fox news is not the broadcast arm of the republican party. that proves it! all right. we'll get into that and a whole lot more here. first we get the latest current news update from lisa ferguson out in los angeles. hi lisa. good morning. >> hey bill. good morning everyone. so far the president seems to be staying strong when it comes to taxes. as you all know by now house republicans sent in a fiscal cliff counter offer yesterday but the white house is calling it no good. i want to give you an idea of where the two sides stand right now. boehner's new plan would raise $2.2 trillion. now it would extend the bush tax cuts for everyone and yes that does include the top 2%. and it would instead raise $800 billion in revenue from so-called tax reform and that's what we mean when we talk about capping deductions and closing loopholes. the rest of the money comes from cuts

house is this roger ailes just kind of playing games and a little -- this is just a temporary retrieve because people aren't that interested in presidential politics anymore but they'll stay around and they'll be eventually be back on fox? >> well, say what you will about roger ailes. we know he's a genius when it comes to programming and trying to shift fox news to bring in ratings and he did this after the 2008 election. fox's ratings have been slipping during the end of the bush years and they had to reposition themselves. they went with glenn beck right around inauguration day and the party in 2009. that became the identity of the network. so now we see fox again as trying to figure out well, what happened in 2012 and these guys clearly -- you don't want to tie the network. where are they going to go next? it seems like they're -- morris and rove, for at least the first part, given how badly they did in predicting the outcome of the 2012 election, they won't be around much. we'll see who fox starts putting on th

that karl rove can't outfox. and it is roger ailes who is his boss at fox news channel. according to a report in "new york" magazine, ails is having all of his shows ask for permission before using karl rove and dick morris as political guests. apparently roger ailes was not happy with the baseless cheerleading and second guessing that karl rove and dick morris were doing and a fox spokeswoman told "new york" magazine that the rule is in effect because the election is over. it is nice to see someone on the right recognize the election is over. maybe they should tell the house republicans, too. so, it is not very often we see the house of representatives united but today they actually came very close. texas republican louie gohmert was the only member of the house to vote against a law stripping
